    Application process

    Visa requirements may vary between embassies. For this reason, foreign workers should begin the visa application process by contacting the Liberian diplomatic staff in their country of residence to verify and clarify requirements.

    After confirming these details, applicants must complete the following steps in the application process:

• Fill out the visa application form and collect all the necessary documents.
• Pay the visa application fee.
• Submit the application and supporting documents to the nearest Liberian embassy or consulate.
• Attend a visa interview at a Liberian embassy or consulate (if required in the applicant's country of residence).
• Wait for the Liberian immigration authorities to process your visa application.
• After receiving notification that Liberian officials have approved your visa application, visit the embassy again to collect your passport and visa.

    After receiving the visa, applicants can travel to Liberia.

    Applicants need to apply separately for a work permit in Liberia. To do this, you need to submit a completed work permit application form and all supporting documents to the Ministry of Labor of Liberia. When the ministry approves the application, the foreigner can start working in Liberia.

    Please note that Liberian work permits are tied to the employer. If you change jobs while in Liberia, you will need to obtain a new work permit.
